They write, "starting Sunday, August 18, we will be officially merging with the Maru Cherry Street location. After much deliberation, we’ve determined that this is the best decision to better care for our teams and guests, allowing us to focus our efforts more intentionally on one location in this region."

So the good news is that you can still get Maru Sushi in Grand Rapids at the Cherry Street location.

At this point it's unknown what business, if any, will replace Maru Sushi on Bridge St.
